Reviews
"Schiff discusses works Carter composed from about 1945 onward, offering contextualizing information, personal anecdotes, and views into Carter's compositional methods. This makes for an absorbing, sometimes amusing portrait of the US's most prolific contemporary composer. Schiff's useful scholarly apparatus includes a time line of Carter's life and compositions, dramatis personae of important people in Carter's circle, and a thorough bibliography." -- CHOICE"... unexpected and provocative ... The book has been expertly edited and proofed to the best traditions of the Master Musicians series ... Those who have Schiff's previous books will want this too, while those seeking an introductory yet probing study could not have been better served. Whether or not this proves to be the author's last word on Carter, his insights and belief in this music have left many listeners in his debt." --Richard Whitehouse, Gramophone"An indispensable volume for any admirer of this fascinating American pioneer." --Misha Donat, BBC Music Magazine"Like a photographer returning to the same image over time and capturing changes both subtle and large-scale, David Schiff has interpreted the revered yet enigmatic composer Elliott Carter over the course of 35 years, viewing his work from ever-shifting perspectives. In Carter, his first major exploration of Carter since the composer's death, Schiff offers a whole new book that brims with unexpected insights. Alternately admiring and ambivalent yet continuously revelatory, Schiff searches for the essence of Carter's voice, delivering a trenchant critique in gorgeously shaped prose." - Carol Oja, William Powell Mason Professor of Music, Harvard University "David Schiff has written a book that combines extensive research with thoughtful speculation, sure to increase every reader's understanding of Elliott Carter's remarkable life in music. Elliott's continuity and consistency are revealed even though the musical challenges were forever changing. In reading about his early life (he was a chain-smoking stutterer), I was struck by the challenges he faced in gaining professional acceptance (and performances). In the detailed description of his compositions we learn however that challenges were also very often self-imposed. I like Schiff's suggestion that Elliott's 'life-long impulse was to shape musical stories out of the life in each note', thus giving us tales galore to ponder and delight in." - Lucy Shelton, Soprano, "Schiff discusses works Carter composed from about 1945 onward, offering contextualizing information, personal anecdotes, and views into Carter's compositional methods.

Synopsis
Elliott Carter (1908-2012) was the foremost composer of classical music in America during the second half of the 20th century. Over the course of a career that spanned seven decades, he consistently produced works that critics hailed as creatively daring, intellectually demanding, and emotionally complex. Distancing himself from the various "schools" and movements that grew and waned in popularity during the postwar era, Carter cultivated a deeply personal musical style that he developed and refined up until the very end of his life. This book springs from author David Schiff's life-long interest in Elliott Carter's music and his close personal connection with the composer which spanned over forty years. This critical overview of Carter's life and work explores aspects of the composer's life about which he was usually reticent--and occasionally misleading--such as his complicated relationships with Charles Ives, Aaron Copland, Nicolas Nabokov, and his own parents. Schiff's study of Carter's complete oeuvre--from his politically charged Depression-era ballets to the deeply personal and reflective late works--is based on extensive study of the composer's personal sketches and letters. Featuring an in-depth look at the legacy project of Carter's final decade, seven settings of American modernist poetry by E.E. Cummings, T.S. Eliot, Marianne Moore, Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens and William Carlos Williams, this newest addition to the Master Musicians Series paints with a fine brush the story of America's foremost composer of the second half of the twentieth century., Elliott Carter (1908-2012) was the foremost composer of classical music in America during the second half of the 20th century.

This newest addition to the Master Musicians Series paints with a fine brush the fascinating story of one of America's greatest and most prolific composers.
